Looks like it is still down.  I'm hoping this means Ceres is replacing the memory that went bad so we will have less lag and more time between weboots.  |

Waily waily waily! This message appeard on discworld.atuin.net: The Discworld machine has suffered a major failure. As yet I'm unsure what has failed. It looks like it's either the power supply or the motherboard. Fraid I don't have an estimated time for recovery yet.
Ceres New message: November 6th 2005: Took atuin down to install the replacement memory and run a memory test (since there have been a lot of driver crashes lately). Unfortunately after installation the machine would not boot up.
I tried all the usual things, flashed the CMOS ram, unplugged the drives, removed the new RAM etc. All without success. So I went and bought a new motherboard. Still no luck. Took it back and bought a new CPU instead. Still no luck.
Tomorrow I'm going to get the motherboard again and try new cpu + motherboard together. Hopefully it'll work then. Otherwise I don't know what to do next.
Sorry for the downtime,
Ceres |

Eeeeek It's after 7pm here so I will assume it's after 11am in Seattle and the Disc is still down.......my god what has happened?  ? Well I suppose am getting used to this by now as it's seems to happen once every 6 months or so, a major break down and it takes foever and a day for it to get back up and running....... I think I'll curl up with 'Guards! Guards!' and read for a while..... TTFN ;D |

well, I thought ceres might have gotten a chance to try the motherboard and cpu today, but, considering that the disc is still down (at least for me), there are 2 possibilities: a) she tried it and it didn't work, or b) she hasn't got a chance

I think its a problem on their end that you can't connect, I'm sure they will resolve it soon though, quite a few people use the website to connect. On another note, theres a d**n lot of reboots happening |
